Elephant on Couch

I have a new video up on my other blog. It's about the seven cities open house that happened here on campus this past week. I'm currently working on getting my first show that I produced for I-News online. I've been having some difficulties. But when I get it up I will post on my video blog about the whole experience and include a link directly to it. You can check out all of I-News at byuicomm.net. I produce a show every other week.

I went with a friend to Sammy's, a new burger joint in Rexburg, last night. Sammy's apparently has another location in Provo. It opened a couple of weeks ago here. The reason that I went was to see Allred play. Sammy's has a side room for performers to do shows in. Since I was there though I tried the food. I had a chicken sandwich called a "Hey Nikki Your So Fine". Basically its a grilled chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, and two onion rings on it. It was delicious. I also tried one of their pie shakes. The pie shakes are apparently their claim to fame. They blend a piece of pie right into your shake. Not low calorie by any stretch. But it was good. Not the best I've had. I think that I'll be happy with drinking soda when I go back. I'll skip the shake.

Allred was great too. I've been enjoying Allred and his music for a couple years now. His shows have always been interesting since he overdubs on stage. Recording bits then looping them to create a full song by himself. This show he was backed by a band for a good number of songs. He just released his latest album called "All We Are." On the album I think he uses the band to back him. It's his best album to date. More upbeat than his past offerings. The band adds a nice dimension too. He still did some looping on stage by himself. But the band added a nice element -- read, more energy -- to a number of his old songs. I've mentioned Allred on this blog before and if you haven't checked him out yet then take a look at "All We Are."
